I watched the first two episodes and I held off watching any more because I knew I would hate to wait a week for each half-hour episode because it was soooo good.

The series follows a bright young man, maybe in his late 20s, (Donald Glover, the actor who almost stole the movie Martian from Damon and was funny as heck in Community) as he struggles and hustles a living in Atlanta while he figures things out for himself. It's like I'm getting a peek at a world I really never saw before. I had the same experience when I watched The Wire. Every critic mentioned that its slow, but I don't get that at all. I'm sucked in and hate when the ending credits pop up.

From the NYT:http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/06/arts/television/atlanta-fx-donald-glover.html?_r=0Atlanta” cooks low, slow and crackling, and Mr. Glover dials Earn’s affect down to a bare hum. He’s intense but reserved, reluctant to open up. Even his parents don’t know why he dropped out of school, and he channels his feelings about his ex, Van (Zazie Beetz), into sardonic comments on her taste in men. The closest he comes to an outburst is when, low on cash, he tries to order a fast-food child’s meal and is humiliatingly refused.

Mr. Glover’s laid-back performance leaves room for his co-stars to impress. The show’s breakout character may be Alfred’s stoner-philosopher roommate, Darius (Lakeith Stanfield). Mr. Henry creates a rich tension between the Paper Boi persona and Alfred, sharp and self-aware, who’s unsettled by his minor celebrity. He’s in the business not to live some bottle-service fantasy but because, he says, “I scare people at A.T.M.s.”

“Atlanta” has a serious streak and the occasional matter-of-fact violence; the second episode is set largely in a police precinct. But the show is richly funny without jokes or setups. The comedy sidles up on you in deadpan exchanges, as when Alfred argues that it’s disturbing for Darius to call his gun “Daddy.”

I'm binging on the episodes now because the final is coming up this week.

For potential jurists/hosts:
News stories (and related content) from reputable mainstream sources about efforts to strengthen or weaken gun control legislation in any jurisdiction in the United States, national news stories (and related content) from reputable mainstream sources about high-profile gun crimes, and viral political content from social media or blogs that would likely be of interest to a large majority of DU members are permitted under normal circumstances.

Based on the clear intent of Congress to narrowly define the `negligent entrustment’ exception, Adam Lanza’s use of the firearm is the only actionable use,” she wrote. Therefore none of the people the defendants actually entrusted the gun to “used” it to commit a crime.

The judge also rejected the plaintiffs’ attempt to slip their claims in under Connecticut’s consumer protection law, saying that law is limited to lawsuits where the plaintiff had some business relationship with the defendant.

And she rejected their product-liability claims, because the gun most definitely worked as intended.

The dismissal puts an end to an innovative attempt to get around the PLCAA, which Congress passed to thwart lawsuits against gun manufacturers over the crimes committed with their products. Judge Bellis allowed the case to proceed longer than might have been expected, given the clear conflict with the PLCAA, and even mused that there might be a comparison to cigarette litigation at a June hearing on Remington’s motion to dismiss.

At this point, I think we are seeing reverse partisanship at play. Voting for president isn't about choosing the most qualified candidate to lead the country.

Most people supporting Trump are just sending the message that they don't want to support Democrats and supporting Trump is the most irritating way possible to show that support. It's a free protest vote because Trump will lose and they get to be irritating.

Of course about 20% of Americans probably support his stances and hate word-for-word and I don't know what to think of that.
